Description

Small Chinese decorative plate in very good condition.

Decorative Chinese plates are a testament to China’s rich cultural heritage, originating around 16th century BC. Initially utilitarian, they evolved into intricate works of art during the Tang and Song Dynasties. Crafted from unique porcelain blends, the plates undergo glazing, firing, and meticulous decoration. Symbolic motifs like dragons, phoenixes, and floral patterns convey deep cultural meanings. Different regions in China have distinct plate-making styles, such as blue-and-white porcelain in Jingdezhen. Modern adaptations continue to push artistic boundaries. Collectors should research, verify authenticity, and handle plates with care. These plates are not only artistic creations but also windows into China’s history, culture, and craftsmanship. They offer a timeless beauty that deserves preservation and celebration. This plate is a more modern creation.
